Compared to the emotional fluctuations she experienced the last time she saw Tang Bo, Tang Ran was not affected at all this time.
As agreed before, we walked towards the state-owned restaurant.
Ji Meng and Hong Feng have fought side by side more than once or twice. Both of them are very tolerant of Tang Ran, so Tang Ran is going to treat him today.
Because Lu Jinshu and the other two had to perform, and Tang Ran lived closer to the state-owned restaurant, Tang Ran had to wait for a while after ordering the dishes before the three of them arrived.
"Have the people over there made arrangements?"
"I've always arranged for someone to do it, but unfortunately he just didn't take action. I specifically reminded him before, and there's absolutely no problem."
"That's good, but I don't think he'll make any move for a while. He still needs to prepare himself mentally. If that doesn't work, we can just put on another show. No rush, let's go in and eat first. I've ordered six dishes. You can take a look and order anything else later."
Lu Jinshu didn't react much, just nodded. Ji Meng and Hong Feng were both confused. Is it still possible to order dishes in a state-owned restaurant? Isn't it just what is on the menu?
But they soon realized that their vision was too narrow.
"Xiao Ran, are all your friends here?"
"Yeah, Sister Ma, we're all here."
As Tang Ran spoke, she floated to the side of the middle-aged woman who had just called out to her. It seemed like the two of them were quite familiar with each other.
"Okay, then I'll tell your brother Wang to hurry up."
"No hurry, come, Sister Ma, eat some melon seeds."
Tang Ran took out a handful of melon seeds and a handful of peanuts from his pocket and stuffed them into the front pocket of Sister Ma's apron.
"You kid!"
Sister Ma glared at Tang Ran coquettishly, but still did not refuse.
It was not mealtime at the state-owned restaurant, and there was no one else there except them, so it was impossible for the three of them not to hear the conversation between Tang Ran and Sister Ma.
Then they heard about everything from Tang Ran and his wife getting married after the Lunar New Year to how many puppies the family dog had, the price of eggs, and how much wool cost...
Anyway, the scope of conversation is very broad. No matter what topic the elder sister brings up, there is nothing that Tang Ran can't catch up with.
"Captain Lu, did Doctor Tang know this man before?"
"We must have just met."
Lu Jinshu was used to Tang Ran's behavior. You know, at the beginning of the end of the previous life, Tang Ran had taken Shi Si to have some ideological education, but in the end, he was stubborn and killed him.
It's true that zombies above level two still have some thinking ability. Tang Ran has actually raised a few of them, and they can more or less communicate with Tang Ran without any obstacles. When Tang Ran speaks, the zombies make "ho ho ho".
We're almost done chatting and the food is ready.
"Xiao Ran, try my cooking later. If it tastes good, come to me next time and I'll make it for you."
"Brother Wang's cooking skills are absolutely amazing. You have no idea how much I crave your cooking. I've heard so many people say that even the big state-owned restaurants in Beijing can't compare to your cooking skills.
Fortunately, I live in the northwest, otherwise I wouldn’t have this blessing.
You look tired, take a rest quickly, I'll bring the food over."
Brother Wang was so happy that his teeth were showing and his eyes were not.
"Hey, Sister Ma, I can do it myself, there's no need to trouble you. Hurry up and sit down and rest. It's not mealtime, and I'm already very embarrassed and grateful to bother you this time. I can do it myself."
"It's just two dishes, it's tiring. Come on, I'll serve them with you!"
Lu Jinshu and the others were not idle either. They also came over to serve the dishes with great discernment.
"Xiao Ran's friends are all so good looking. Xiao Ran is my sister. If you want to eat something, just come and tell me. Don't hesitate!"
"That's great. Thank you, Sister Ma."
"Well, these kids are so sweet, they are so attractive just by looking at them.
You guys eat first, I'll go to the back and clean up."
Ji Meng, Hong Feng: …………
"Doctor Tang, you just met this person?"
Ji Meng and Hong Feng still couldn't believe it.
“Just call me by my first name in private from now on.
We just met and hit it off.
Come and have a quick meal. This isn't the first or second time we've been on a mission together. We'll have more opportunities to collaborate on missions in the future. We're comrades in the army, and friends outside of it."
…………
The few of them had a very pleasant chat. In the kitchen, Sister Ma and Brother Wang praised Tang Ran highly. Although they were just cooks and waiters in a state-owned restaurant, there were quite a few people who flattered them and gave them gifts. However, none of them was as sweet-mouthed as Tang Ran. Look at the liquor, cigarettes and cloth that Tang Ran gave them. They were all good things, but none of them could compare to Tang Ran, who was in such a good mood.
"Old Wang, get some more meat filling. I'll make two plates of dumplings for Xiao Ran. It's our treat."
"Okay, I'll do it right away!"
Four people, six dishes, two large plates of dumplings, all eaten up.
It can only be said that the four of them were serious about their appetite. After the meal, Tang Ran and his group said goodbye to Sister Li, Brother Wang and only after about ten minutes were they able to leave the state-owned restaurant.
"Xiao Ran, remember to come. When the date for my boy's wedding is set, come to my house for the wedding banquet!"
"Okay, I'll definitely come often. My brother Wang's cooking skills are incredible. When the date is set, let me know. I'll definitely go to the wedding and sit at my in-laws' table."
…………
After returning to the military region, Tang Ran and Lu Jinshu took over the task of monitoring Qu Liang, and Ji Meng and Hong Feng also followed.
The surveillance location was in a house opposite Qu Liang.
"Everyone, take a break. This thing might make some moves tonight, or we might have to add more fuel to the fire tomorrow. Don't keep going."
Lu Jinshu gave an order, and Ji Meng and Hong Feng both obeyed.
As for Tang Ran, she closed her eyes early and used a small space field to observe Qu Liang's every move.
Just as Tang Ran expected, Qu Liang was struggling with his thoughts and reasoning repeatedly. According to this situation, it seemed that all he had to do was wait.
The surveillance lasted until night.
Qu Liang the dog walked out of the room stealthily and headed west.
Tang Ran on the west side is familiar. She, Ji Meng and Hong Feng have all ridden on the wall over there.
Qu Liang had been gone for a while before Tang Ran lazily stood up.
"It's time to get back to work. Dress warmly and let's go!"
It was no longer possible to tell who was the captain. Ji Meng and Hong Feng were habitually obedient and didn't feel there was anything wrong.
"Do you want me to call a few more team members? If there is an emergency, we can deal with it."
"No need, just follow and see what's going on, so as not to alert the enemy."
Tang Ran and his men really kept a safe distance from Qu Liang, so there was no possibility of being discovered.
Compared with the previous spy's lair, Qu Liang found this place quite well. Even a rat hole is not so tortuous.
At a certain moment, Tang Ran changed his usual lazy behavior and ran at an astonishing speed.
Lu Jinshu's reaction speed was also extremely fast, and he followed Tang Ran closely. As for Ji Meng and Hong Feng, they could only make sure not to lose him...
